Do you need a Scale Inhibitor or a Water Softener?

It makes sense to prevent problems with limescale.  At Calmag, we are often asked whether it is better to fit a  Scale Inhibitor or a Water Softener.  The answer largely depends on the severity of your limescale problem, and the results you want to achieve.

60% of people in the UK live in a hard water area, so problems with limescale are common.  Limescale build-up reduces energy efficiency; it can cause breakdown, or even permanent damage to appliances, pipework and central heating systems.

As little as 1mm of limescale on a boiler heat exchanger surface means around 8% more energy is needed to achieve the same output.  1/8″ of limescale reduces heating efficiency by 25%.

A Scale Inhibitor is the perfect solution when you want a ‘no fuss’, low cost way of protecting your central heating system, pipework, and ‘plumbed-in’ water using appliances from the damaging effects of limescale build-up.

 Reasons to choose a Calmag Scale Inhibitor

  • Reduces and prevents limescale build-up in your pipework.
  • Protects your boiler’s heat exchanger.
  • Prolongs the life of your washing machine, shower, dishwasher and other ‘plumbed-in’ water using appliances.
  • Reduces your energy bills by improving water flow and efficiency.
  • Installation is quick and easy.
  • Little or no maintenance is needed.

With Calmag, you have choice from the widest range of quality assured Scale Inhibitors, including guaranteed and ‘WRAS Approved’ models.

Is hard water making washing, bathing and cleaning miserable? Are your soaps, cleansers and detergents failing to produce rich bubbles and creamy lather? Do you often find scum and scale deposits around your taps and sinks?

If you answered ‘yes’ to one or more of these questions, then a Calmag Water Softener is the perfect solution for you.

Our water softeners give you all the protection of a scale inhibitor, plus a limitless supply of silky feeling, soft water.  Life with a Calmag Water Softener means washing and bathing is  luxurious. Laundry is softer and brighter. Cleaning is easier and washing the car is quicker, with added sparkle and shine.

Reasons to choose a Calmag Water Softener

  • All the benefits of a Scale Inhibitor.
  • An endless supply of soft water on demand.
  • Luxurious washing and bathing.
  • Faster, easier, brighter cleaning.
  • Easy to use.
  • Long-lasting, reliable performance.
  • Choice of models to suit all needs and budgets.
  • Backed by Calmag guarantee.

A Calmag Water Softener gives you the softer water you want – affordable, reliable, guaranteed.

80% of UK central heating systems suffer from neglect

Although we often take daily comforts like hot water on demand and cosy room temperatures for granted, a central heating system breakdown can soon make life pretty miserable, especially when the weather starts turning colder.

1.5 million new boilers installed each year

Around 1.5 million new boilers are installed in the UK each year. Despite the high costs of installation and repair, it is surprising to find that most of the UK’s central heating systems are suffering from some degree of neglect

After testing a large number of heating systems, an industry study by a leading boiler manufacturer found that only 18% were correctly treated – 50% had no treatment at all! That leaves around 80% of the UK’s central heating systems at risk of reduced performance or system breakdown.

Cleanliness is critical for high efficiency boilers

Today’s high efficiency boilers have very fine waterways to accommodate the required heat transfer. If you own this type of boiler, please be aware that cleanliness is critical! Many people simply don’t realise that dirty heating systems not only increase the risk of expensive and inconvenient system breakdowns, they can also add as much as 35% to the cost of fuel bills.

Don’t leave your system out in the cold!

Late summer is a great time for testing your heating system’s winter fitness. We can help, with our complete range of chemical heating system treatments. Don’t leave your heating system out in the cold, battling against the damaging effects of sludge, corrosion, hard scale and dirt. Ask your installer about boosting its efficiency with the affordable Calmag Chemical Collection; you can keep warm for less this winter!

Worried about flood water?

Are you concerned about the safety of your water due to flooding?

If your water comes through the mains supply, in most circumstances it will remain safe.  Your local water company can advise you on the safety of your supply; they will also inform you about any safety arrangements in your area.

If you draw your water from a private supply, which has, or may have been affected by floodwater, you can ring your local council for advice.  Until you receive a reply, it is safest to assume the water is unsafe to drink unless the water has been boiled or sourced from an alternative supply.

Further information on coping with flooding is available from the Health Protection Agency website http://www.hpa.org.uk/flooding.  You can also visit our Problem Solving section for more information on improving the quality of your water supply.
